District management, built by Nazarenes, for Nazarenes.
One integrated suite for the things every Nazarene district already does — event registration, monthly attendance reporting, the church directory, and the leadership team page — without the spreadsheet duct tape.
Why we built this
Most districts run on a duct-taped stack: Eventbrite for one camp, a Google Form for another, a treasurer's PayPal account, a paper waiver, a clipboard at registration, an attendance report someone copies into a spreadsheet, and a leadership page that hasn't been updated since 2019.
Naz.tools is one integrated suite that respects how districts and churches actually operate: households register together, payments route to the correct entity, waivers are signed once and stored compliantly, monthly attendance reports flow in on time with automated reminders, and the district leadership page stays current because it's wired to a real directory.
It is built on real production use at one district — the East Tennessee Nazarene District — and we are opening a path for other districts to join.
The suite
Four components that share a single source of truth — your churches, your people, your roles. Use one or use them together.
Naz.tools Events
Camp signups, conference registration, payments to the right treasury, waivers, and tablet-based check-in.
- Household-aware booking + family records
- Per-event Stripe payee routing (district / church / ministry)
- HIPAA-aligned waiver storage with e-signature
- Tablet kiosk mode with QR check-in
Naz.tools Attendance
Monthly church attendance reporting with automatic reminders and a district-wide rollup dashboard.
- Per-church reporters submit by the 8th of each month
- Automated SMS reminders on the 1st and 8th (Twilio)
- District-admin dashboard with delinquency tracking
- Modern Events Calendar venue sync per church
Naz.tools Directory
A real registry of churches and district leadership — with a public church finder, gated by phone verification.
- Church records with pastor, address, contact, lat/lng
- People records with photo, role, term-end, committee
- Public church-finder map with phone-verified access
- One source of truth — every team page pulls from here
Naz.tools Team
Drop the right people on the right page with one click in your page builder.
- Native Elementor widget — no shortcode shopping
- Responsive grid (1–6 columns), live search, committee filter
- Click-to-reveal contact obfuscation (anti-scrape)

We host and operate the suite for beta districts. The code is developed in the open at github.com/bokelleher.

About this beta
We are not yet selling Naz.tools. The system runs in production today at one district — East Tennessee — and we're using that experience to learn what other districts will need before we open the doors.
That means a few honest things:
- Onboarding is invitation-only. We can only support a small number of additional districts in the next phase.
- Migration is white-glove. We will help you get your events, members, and waivers in — by hand if we have to.
- Pricing is to-be-determined. Beta districts will help us figure out what's fair.
- Your data is yours. Full export, any time, no questions asked. See the FAQ.
If that sounds like the kind of arrangement your district is open to, we'd like to hear from you.
